Paul Nash, Three Rooms 1937

Display caption
This work reflects Nash’s renewed commitment to the International Surrealist Exhibition in London in 1936. It shows three interrelated rooms invaded by the sky, a forest and the sea. The air of strangeness and the combination of disparate elements is typical of much Surrealist painting and writing. The mysterious symbolism also recalls the work of William Blake.
